ZDIT,ORS e E. O. 000muOtt. X. W. A.LVORD. " pipit is itivA." t_.-- Several communications have ap peared of ly t te in the Elmira Adver tiser,-purpsirting to hove been writ ten by citizens residing in different localities in this county, in favor . I pf HERDIC'S new eounty. We can scarce ly believe that the editors of the Ad• vertiser are ignorant of the fact that these articles are either written or instigated by !Mr. iir.nrac's hired lobbyist, 11. N. WILLIAMS, E5q.1.,44 Canton, and the Advertiser belittles itself in giving credit and respecta bility to a, scheme calculated to do great injui r itice to the pOple to be affected by it. It is alleged in the articles referred to, that the opposi- tion to the measure eminates from interested and selfish motives. The territory to lie cut ,from Bradford would make bat little - difference with us, but the inhabitants of that un fortunate district would be the great sufferers, and therefore we fed it to be a duty to them (to oppose the , measure, for the/reason that Prima HERDIC is pushing it for his personal aggrandizement atone, regardless of the wishes or interests of the people he seeks to coerse into his insignifi cant county, for the sake of filching from them their hard earned savings ta fill his own pockets. If a large majority of . the inlitibitauts of the townships to be included in the pro 'posed county, are so earnest fpr the 'pasSage of Mr. HERDIC'S bill, why do they not stly, so, either by their votes or petitions,Y This county question has heel?. an issue for the past three years at4least, and each year the del egates troin these townships have supported - Ipr Representatives men known to be hostile to the move ment. The people are not for it, and the author of these articles 'knows it: The only argument Mr. llesmc has ever advanced, is the one which Mr. PAIZEB said would have to answered in the same way—mon- ev. The fact that. every newspaper in all the counties to be affected by the bill, except one Owned .by Mr. linu- DIC, in Williamsport, oppose it,onght to be satisfactory evidence to the Advertiser that the people don't want it. DIVISION OF BRADFORD COUNTY. A correspondent of the Elmira Advertiser, writing from Athens, ex plains the origin of the several let ters which have appeared in that pa per on the division question: Enirosts ADvEivrina :—Your correspoir'ent " w." of this place, has more impudence of the brazen kind than is at all necessary for the sor ry cause he alone in this section, represents. A few (lave ago,. Williams, of Canton, was sent up from Hatrisburg to work the rich vein of se cessionism that W. had reported existed in Athens and vicinity. Be dug faithfully for a low days, but atter the hardest king of work, he, succeeded in getting out one lamp and that labeled " W." But W. was a lirst‘class lawyer and so he war put on the job as a valu able acquistion to the working forces of Peter the Great in doing all in his power to further the iniquity that the Williamsport adventurer is tying to perpetrate upon the good old coun ty of Bradford. In'the first place W. writes a letter fur the AtivErrisEn advocating division— hien in the same paper of tu-day's date he speaks of the first as the "bomb-shell" that waked up his drowsy faculties and q .ickened ts'permption to see the beauty there is in ilerd , c and Minnego& Then, being omni-res ident, he writes a letter fromLatelitleld to the Canton Sentinel saying that the citizens of that town are in favor of division—when it is a no torious fact, a fact which W. will not deny,that not one man of any charatter in that place, is in fivor of the measure. Williams or " W." wrote also from' Ulster to the stme paper, making 'statements equally false. Thus it is that this job is worked—with all sorts of deception, and all imaginable false hoods. The masses of the people of Bradford look with horror on the bare idea of a division of our noble county. They cannot see anything to be gained for themselves by the measure but an increased burden of taxation and the humiliation of seeing the; noble county of Brad ford reduced tb a thud rate county. Disguise it as they may, still the scheme is one born in iniquity—au egg of the ambition of ono man, the incubation of which can bo tostered only by the grossest corruption and the use of money. X; •i ATAtNS, Pa., March_6, 1873. : t in. The Harrisburg !Telegraph waxes wroth over the charge made by the REPORTER 'several weeks since, that the chairman of the committee on townships and' counties, Mr. Franc, of Chester county, was cor ruptly influenced in his action ,on the Minnequa scheme, and calktup on the Legislature to investigate the matter. All right, Mr. BERGNER, if the House takes your advice and raises the committee, we will furnish competent and reliable witnesses to prove our assertion. If the Telegraph would tell all its editor knows about the " roosters " in the Legislature, we presume there would be occasion for several investigating committees. We know that it ik3 very common for the press to Make wholesale charges of 'corruption!. against the Legisla ture, and we deprecate and discohn tenanee the practice as unfair and cowardly ; but when a man is known to be corrupt, we the it to be the solemn duty of the press to 'expose and denounce his corrupt practices. Until this course is adopted and faithfully adhered to, the innocent -must suffer suspicion with the guilty. If the Telegraph and other journals at the State Capitol were more inde pendent, and less influenced by the hope of favors from they "roosters," oar legislature would cease to be a by-word and reproach. The few corrupt men like Mr. Pram would never be elected the second time. ler Judge 'WILLIAM Btrnia, of Chester county, is spoken of as a candidate for the Supreme Bench neat fall. Judge 8.. was a candidate in the Republican State Convention last spring, and received a very com plimentary vote. MS.

The Weekly Itegyttv i '' pnblishea at Willitunsport the a i)1 Pam • Hume, tfins refers to the petition* preimted to the Legidature in favor of the new county. Everybody sc . grutinted with Manta and - his ob sequions followers, know that they: will bear watching : Having !decided - that these citizens had bet ter not become the - subjets of Peter Herdic, their duty to reject the pe titions and the meas ure is perfectly plain. rWe apprehend, too, that it will require more than mere petitions to convince the Legislators that the new county is really wanted, and that it will benefit any body besides Herdic and a fin! of his "swamp angels." eta But, as we hue sewested before, in an hon est tindesear of titeitiWs of the Legislature to arrive at the truth. it is not safe to take for granted that thou petitions were signed by all or even half of the persona whose names ap pear upon them. It, is alien-known fact 014 the chief parties interested in the now coanty scheme, are not the most Moral, rena:di and serupulotte of cititens slid churchmen..' - Nind what has weed through! their handl, with but a probability of rwrsonal interest attsching, in variably needs the best! proof of genuineness known to the law. It will be remembered. by our readers, that not long since we exposed a, frAnd in the swipe of a lambeestatementorhich purported to have been signed by certain prominent Williamsport lumbermen. Although wewithheld the names of tparties who em phatically and indignantly r ep udiated the doc ument which gulled the ereility of a number of editors and others, it Was One the lea true that those parties never tsigned the document nor authorised it to be signed for them. Now this statement was in the shape of a petition to the Legislature to stay the devastation of tim ber, and was gotten ;IC and circulated with characteristic industry, by the same parties who have gotten up the! petitions for the new county. The f , rmer was fraudulently gotten up for the purpose of indirectly affecting legis• lotion, and may not the hitter have been man ufactured largely to the same end. in the di rect interests of the same parties?.lt is, to our mind, the. most likely thing that could have happened. And; with the experience that former legislsturce,haye had with the ir reputable "member from ldinnequa." it is hardly possible that the present legislature *lll unwittingly and credidcinitly receive his representations as correct Withoutrequiring the beet corroborative proof in the world. " Whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." The only power that can pass the Mitineqiis bill is money ; and we hope the parse which leedi the friends of the•messure, in the Legis lature, may-give out its last dollar, before the greedy maws of the legislature asses, who bray for that kind of food, may be hall satiated. PRIZEB will do' his part toward emptying the Min l nequa bag. THE EVANS CABE. The case of the Commonwealth vs. GEO. 0. Evan was concluded in Harrisburg last week. Thejary ren dered a verdict in favor of the State of $149,726 53. Gov. GEM being (load, Der. Ers.us was, principally, his own Witness in the case, and hence the Common wealth ,Vas unable to contradict any thing he asserted about arrange ments made at the time of his ap pointment. Mr. EVANS seemed to be well satis fied with the •verdict, since, under the decision of the court, it is under stood that it is only a common debt. It is believed that the rise will be carried to the Supreme Court by the State authorities. Thia settles one of the numerous slanders against Gen. H.Airrasitrr It will be remembered that the opposi tion, during' the campaign last fall, charged that , the case would never , be pressed •to trial, for the reason that litirrnaarr was !implicated with EVANS. This, with the other false hoods uttevt , d against the Governor, is emphatically disproved by his offi cial condtici. WHAT OUTSIDERS THINK OEIT. The Harrisburg , correspondent of the Chambersbarg. Repository ;says concerning the new county project of the "Proprietor of 31innequa" : The better p n.tioa of the House were sur prised the other day by the report that the committee on counties and townships bad agreed to a bill creating a new county. called Minnequa, out of Vega,. Bradford, Sullivan and 14 coming in the north-eastern part of the State. This county is to be created for the especial benefit of the notorious Peter. Herdic. who is on hand with hie cash, ready to push his pet scheme throngh. By tho bill a piece IS cut from each of th so counties, making sad havoc with their symmetry; but making a beautitul•and square county, to please Peter and no one else. The people in the counties above alluded tore opposed to this,and their representatives are with their constituents against this glaring outrage. Time will alone tell tsbether Herdic aid his corrupt friends are strong enough to accomplish their purpos es. I watch this spicy piece of legislation and keep you informed. • The BedfoF.d Liquzrer remarks on he lichEme " Peter Herdic, of Williamsport, is said to have a neat job set up at Harrisburg. It is neither more nor less than a new amity to be erected with Idinuequa ,as the county seat. lillonequit was built for a watering place a few years ago, based on a slpggish, almost stag nant spring, tainted with sulpher in a dry time, and a pet bear, housed in a molasses hogshead with tie head knocked out. Of a necessity the thing was a failure, - and now it is to be made to pay by making a new county for the purpose of making Miunequa the county seat. Peter is clever at devices to make things pay, but ! whether be can worry this through remains to be seen, as there seems to be con siderable objection made to creating a new county in order to bolster up the bad invest ment of-a single individual." • SCHVYLLU COLFAX. Ex-Vice President COLFAX arrived at his home in South-Bend, Ind., on Saturday last and was received by a large concourse of people with bands of music. A speech of welcome was delivered by the Mayor of the city. Mr. Cows replied in an address of eansiderabie length in which he re viewed the Credit Mobilier scandal, and closed by reading a letter from Mr. DILON, castutr of the Ser geant-at-Arms, in which this gentle man says, upon referring to the books and refreshing his memory he is under the strong impression that he paid all the cheeks with initials on them to OAKES Axes himself, and closes his letter to Comex bye con gratnlatfng him upon his triumphal vindication from a well arranged plot to injure him "in the estimation of the public. - President Gaksrr also authoriSed the publication of the following let ter : Eurtrrivs MAssnox.

If Mr. Coma was gniltr of any wrong or impropriety in connection with the.

Mr. Maw -is as far abofeVol. Piourr, in moral and pa litical integrity, as the east is from the west During his long career as a public officer, no one has ever ap - proached him with a bribe.' Can PloLmr say as much ? THE NEW COUNTY OP.nueNr.qua. The last Northern Tier Gazette,pub lished at Troy, gives the following truthful, concise and clear statement of the sentiment of this county on the division question, It it{ an effect ual rejoinder to the allegation of Hamm and his friends that the peo ple of the western part of the county, desire a division : The Stale Journal of the 26th ult. contains an elaborate article under this captian. Although published as an editorial, its 'unblushing impu dence ofr-assertion—ita canning ad mixture of a little truth with mach falsehood„, and its' cool appropriation of the reasons in 1841 for creating a new county of fifteen townships from Bradford and','lloga, as arguments in favor of attaching three towns and a fraction to the wild-cat region of Sullivan and Lycoming in 1873, in dicate its.author as certainly as his disheveled locks and portly form would point out Lawyer Williams in the streets of Canton. Professing to give a dispassionate statement of facts, he puts forward a specious ar gument, written for,mbney in the interest of Peter Herdic . : Published as it has been at the State Capital, it is perhaps entitled to a somewhat detailed consideration. It is true that in 1841 an effort was made to. Create the new county of Penn.. It is not true that anybody ever dream ed of taking any part of Sullivan and Lycoming for the purposi of a coun ty until the present speculation was conceived, and it became necessary to have territory without population, in order to evade the constitution. For 'introducing, this bill into the Legislature, his own party made Stephen Pierce a "yearling." Some years later another attempt at division was made and failed. During the past twenty years the sleep of death has veiled the divis ion scheme. No candidate has been, nominated or elected on-that: ques tion, until Major Dartt was elected against it. No effort daring all . this time has been put forth towards di Tiding Bradford county. Yet we are told that for thirty-five years, our people have " struggled with great earnestness and warmth to create a new county" 'and been " beaten back," and that this mountain of la bor has brought forth Minnequa-- Parfuriunt mantes, naseetur.ridicidus 17110. mar A Harrisburg letter says : "Your broadside on PRIEER made a fluttering among HERDIC'S poultry." We give the " roosters" notice that we shall continue to expose their corrupt practices, " regardless of de- . nunciation." Men who secure seats in the Legislature for the purpose of selling their votes deserve to be ex- . posed, and the press fails in its duty, to the public when it fails to hold them up to' the execration of their constiOients: Thelfollowing letter from or Har risburg correspondent came too late for publication litst week.

Rzeowrza :—Permit me to say as an act of simple justice that Myer, Mitchell, Jones,- (of Susquehanna), Bates, of Crawford, and Morris, of Westmoreland, all stood equally firm in the committee on the division question. They are all square men, neither tempted by the waters nor the greenbacks of the Minnequa chief. E3WLT. f!!~• The preachers of the Gospel in Kansas have taken- the Ponxitor- YOWL bribery case in hand, and are making good use of it in pointing moral and a warning to their congre gations. We notice that some of these ministers are handling the two principals without gloves, and if the reports of some of the sermons are an index to popular feeling, then it is only too apparent that To= is looked upon with about as little favor as Pommam, in Kansas. The Rev. Dr. Raw, of Lawrence, Kansas, recently, after giving his opinion of Senator Poltraor in very plain and emphatic Saxon, thus ref4red to Yoax's con. duct in going to Poxtao: and prOm sing to vote for hi M.

It will not hPlp the matter to say that when he promised to vote for Mr. Pawnor, Colonel Yost meant that he would vote for him to w) to the penitentiary. He knew that Mr. Possum understood him to make a bona fide promise to vote for his return to the Senate, and he took the money on that condition In making that promise he told a lie.

TMr , : Upon the whOle (says the North American) considering solely the im portance of the public business in troduced, and the very grave results that must follow legislation, the bit ter and desperate 'animus of the de feated opposition and the scandal they imcceeded in foisting into the place of business, we apprehend that when the effects of the short session which closed on Tuesday last are seen, the country will award it no mean or ordinary praise. It did not attain perfection. It did not, proba bly, all that it might have done wise ly—nor left all undone that shonld haVe been so treated. There were Liberals and Democrats, and too many of both in ite constitution to peimit a close approach to the abso lute. - But it did all that bad to be done; and, not less meritorious, it gave the good-bye to a whole firma ment of schemes and plots, and plans designed for partisan, for per tumid, for ideal and limited ends, without reference to the welfare of the country—unless to leech it. This negative action cannot have its mer its overestimated. In a day when legislation is ex pected to cure everything, from the toothache to schism ; and to benefit everybody, so that be can estimate his advantage to the cent instantly ; and when the whole pack are hunger scented for plunders that will sup- Port them, the Forty-second Con gress dissolved with a record whose wise mean between action and ioac- tion will benefit the nation in every way, and' so adjust the work of its successor - that great good_ can be readily made greater, and the first century of national being rounded into' a larger proniise and more crescent future. The true ends of legislation, the true apportionment of action and inaction, have beeri considered with rare judgment and observed with rare resolution. SAVING $5,000,000.

The Judges and attorneys of that county now unite in published testimony that during the twelve years of no license in that place, containing a population of 3,000, not a single criminal charge has been brought to the court of Crawford county. Who will say .that this is not a powerful argument in behalf of no license every where?' Let there be a general trial. agi.. The British- estimate of the gain to the United States from the award by the Emperor of Germany on the San Juan Boundary 1 e ought to gratify us. This award 'las only taken from us," an English journal says, "sixty three thousand square miles of territory - , and gold regions rich enough to. sot any num ber of limited companies afloat." The Table to the United States of this acquisition is estimated by tho same authority as at least twenty millions sterling. se. Mr. 341:11 has introduced a bill in the House for the incorpora.: Con of the Towanda and Troy nar row-page 11. R. Co., and will, with out doubt, secure its passage through both Houses. The incorporators named in the bill are among our most energetic and subitantial busi ness men, and will undoubtedly " push things " as soon as the com pany is organized. MIL.The biggest joke of the is Prrza's proposition 'to build": a street railway from lifmnequa to Can ton. He has had a bill introduced in the Legislature to incorporate the company. A little too thin, Prim IS. Secretary Boum:L replies to an inquiry that it is not his intention to inflate the currency by permanent ly, keeping out any part of the $44, 000,00 J, of legal tenders in reserve. He believes, bowever, D9twitlifitand ing the Ways and Means Committee, that he has the right . to Woo them Irbetievor he deems lb proper. ADDRESS or MB COLFAX AID ME WILSON. The following are the addromes delivered. ,respectively t by the out going and the incoming Vice lient,at thc.,close, of the Sedate ses sion otiTiteiday morning; March immedistelyiafter the entrance af_the Preaident,. a few minutes before 12 o'clock, if ' ADDRESS OF VICE PRESIDENT CaLFAX. Senators4-The :time fixed by the Constitution for the dissolution of the Forty-A=lnd COngress has ar rived, and with a few parting words I shill resitn.thii - to tbo hon ored son of Massachusetts who his been closet' by,tbe people as ng successor. !Adnainistrat ! unas terint- mite, and Clongressei expire as ; the years pass by, but the nation lives and grows and prospers, to be served in .the future by those . equally faith ful to its interests, and equally proud of,its growing influence among the nations of tLe earth. To be culled by the representatives of the people and rafterwis by the people themselves to the responsible duty of presiding successively over the two Houses' of Congress for the past ten years, from the era of war• through the era of reconstruction to the era of peace, more than fills the measure of an houqrable ambition. Looking back over these ten exciting sears I can claim not that I have committed no act which has proved the confidence misplaced that called me 'to this position, 'but alto that 1 hare striven in its official - duties to administer the parliamentary law with the same impartiartiality width which the upright judge upon the bench decides questions of life and liberty. To faithfully protect the rights of the minority, as well as.to uphold the rights of the majority in the advancement of the public business, to retuhin calm and unmoved amid the excitements of debate, to tetepir and restrain asperitie,-, and to guard against personal antagonisms, to per form acceptably the complex and of ten perplexing duties of the •Chair without partisan biasi, has been my constant endeavor. It is gratifying, therefore, that of theomany hundreds of decisions made by ‘me, often on the instant, none have been reversed, and scarce any seriously questioned. • How much I owe to the uniform kindness and support of the members over whom I have presided is diffi cult to express in- words. It has been - bounded by: no party lines and controlled l b ) - no political affiliations, and I rejoice that I have been able to attest my appreciation of this sup; port while zealously .defending priu ciples before the people. This de fense 'has never been coupled with personal assaults on any of the enii nent public men with I have differed. No aspeisie:,s. (AI their character have dish moral 'tongue, No epithets or invective have fallen from my lips, But,the clock 'admonishes me that the- Forty-second Congress has already passed into history, and, hap py lives for your country, and happy lives for yourselves, and thanking you for- the resolution spread on your journal; and invoking the favor 'of Him who holds the destinies of nations and of men in the hollow of His hand, I an; ready . to administer, the oath of office to flea President elect, whom I nowt introduce to yen. Mr. Wilson, standing at_ the Secre tary'idesk, addresied the senate as follows:. • VICE PEESIDEN - r WILSON ' S ADDRFSS Senators—ln assuming the position assigned me the voice of the na tion, I am not I trust, unmindful of the obligations it imposes. A servico here somewhat. prolonged, covering a period crowded with great events, and an association here with two hundred and thirty, Senators,.manv of them statesman of large and vari .ed experience, have iinpress:_ti upon cue exalted ideas of the responsibd ities resting upon the occupant. of this chair,' under the .rules of the Senate, parliamentary. law, and the Constitution. Iu passing, then, from the seat I have held for more than eighteen years, to this ehair,l trust I compre hend something of its just require ments—something, too, of the tone and.temper of the Senate. • In pre siding over your deliberations I shag ever ,strive to be. free - from _personal prejudice'himl partisan bin- A sense of public duty and the Obligations of personal friendship alike require that L shall be as considerate us just, and as impartial as the lot. o_f humanity permits. To the justice, generosity and friendly regard of Senators I 'trustfully -appeal for that counsel and encouragement, that forbearance and indulgence which ram sure I shall often require as your presiding officer. COMMODORE VANDERBILT AND GREF.- LEY'S D.tuenrEss. , --:It has been gener ally known in political circles for sev eral years "that HORACE GREVLEY en dorsed a note of fifteen thousand dol lars for COMMODORE VANDERBILT'S mis erable son, CORNELIUS, and had it to pity. Young COR.VELIUS was never h a cent of his own and was never able in the life time of Grimm to make him good. Bence the claim has been spoken of since his death in connection with his assets as being probably worthless. Bat on Satur day last the Commodore, unwittingly probably, said that IBIr. Gavrir.vr's daughters -should not' suffer for the delinquency of his profligate boy, and N;-ithotit any intimation to or from any person' sent the daughters , his check for $lO,OOO, with a written leave to them whenever they were out of money to call on him for moil), This was an exhibittun of sympathy and goodness on the tart the Com modoie which the most of those who know him did not suppose he pos sessed. Id. Hon. WIL HOPKINS, a member of the S ate Constituttonal Conven tion, died on WeAnesday, at Pitts burg. Mr. HOPKINS was twill in 1804. He was a member of the State Legu3- lature from 1834 to 1840, Cahat Com misioner from 1853 to 1855, and member of the State Senate from 1864 to 1866. - For - many years he was an active leader of tue.Demoera cy in this State. Resolutions of re spect to his . memory were adopted in the Constitutional Convention, and Judge LAWRENCE ' of Washington county, paid an eloquent tribute to his personal attributgs.
